typical head and neck CT simulation procedure

figure 9.7).


The advantages of CT virtual simulation can be summarized as follows:



full 3D simulation allowing unique verification of beam coverage and avoidance in 3D


beams can be simulated and verified that are not possible with conventional simulation, e.g. vertex fields


the verification image – the DRR – can contain more information than conventional simulation and can be manipulated to enhance tumour visualization


there is a much closer connection to diagnostic information with CT simulation allowing integration of multimodality images.
